Yes, I have. I'm sure most of us have. When the conditions get like that, I'm pulling over the first chance I can safely do so. Be safe, Danny

Hiya, I realize this has been talked about before, but I'm curious as to what the advantages of joining OOIDA are. Please no "search the archive" comments cuz uggggggh.. I've searched em & I get no luck. I know they're in here somewhere, but all I can do is keep clicking on "next page". My...

>Try blinkin' your 4-ways once or twice PERFECT-A-MUNDO!!! Thanx a ton & amazing how the simple things sometimes escape ya. PS: I tried to go give ya a + rating. I guess I've already done that once so they wouldn't lemme do it again. Prolly better, people might think I'm starting a...

Hi, I have another question here. With my old van, when a truck would let me into their lane, I would turn on/off my headlights as a way of saying "thank you." The Sprinter I now have, the lights are always on. So turning then on/off doesn't seem to be an option. I've thought of flashing my...

Like the others have mentioned, there's a lot of things to mull over by reading the things posted in that past. Since I'm guessin ya already knew ya could do that, I'll add in something current. Other's may disagree w/ me here, but I would NOT get a Sprinter to start out in. Companies seem to...

I would be more inclined to believe that it's all about >safety if I didn't know that police don't ticket fellow >officers, or their family members, or most officials. Hiya Cheri, I room w/ a Police officer & that (an officer giving another officer a ticket) happens more than ya might...

I drive a 4 wheeler, but I've got my beefs on the road. In no particular order, these are what comes to mind: 1) Some jackazz on a cell phone driving 50MPH in the center lane while traffic is generally doing 70-75. 2) You move over to let someone in, & they don't let you back over. 3)...

Ooops.. sorry about that. I wasn't sure if they were decent or not. I don't drive a t/t. I knew ya made less for dedicated. I wasn't sure what someone needed to turn a profit. Sorry bout that. Take care, Danny

Hi, I do not work for this company & know nothing about them. I hope this can help an EO member though. They listed the following dedicated runs on their website . If any of these runs appeals to you, contact them at bawc.com. I'm not sure how to link so you'll have to type it in. You'd need...

If he's the one who achieved the incentive, I think he has a good shot at getting it. I just saw a show on court cases a couple of months ago. While every now & then someone gets out of something they morally owe on a technicality, most of the time the judge will enforce the "intent" of the...

I'm guessing it "might" be possible. It seems like a bit of a stretch though. If he's actually doing that well every month, I'm guessing he's taking every single run offered & getting a little lucky in addition. I'm not sure who he works for, but I definately wouldn't be buying a Sprinter...

Hi Matt, Good luck w/ your venture & also check your mail. Take care, Danny

We are slow too. At least I am. I saw where Geo had 19 runs one day & my thoughts were "WOW!!" because I work for the same company & haven't even been close to that. I'm in the process of trying to find a house down by our office/warehouse. The slow times had me 2nd guessing that decision...

>Intellectually, I understand this is the slow time of year >and I understand that you can be with a great company and >still sit this time of year. Emotionally, however, I still >HATE SITTING IN MY TRUCK BY MYSELF FOR DAYS ON END. It's >probably just not a healthy thing to do. I love to...

I do not have the full list by any means, but one thing that I always take as a deduction is my cell phone bill. My logic is that our company makes us have one, therefore it's a business expense. Some have told me I should pro-rate the bill according to how much I use it for business vs...

Hiya Mike, This is a great question. You seem to have a concious about turning down loads. It shows that you care. With my current company, I have yet to turn down a load except for one time when I was already on one & couldn't be in two places at one time. I've been w/ em since November &...

I am looking at putting on a 2nd truck, possibly w/ ASAP. I have tried searching the archives. I typed in "ASAP" & tried the various choices on how to search. I got very few subjects & none of them were on ASAP. My questions are: 1)How would I go about searching the arvhives for this...

Geo, The freight down there might be a lil different than the freight up here. I often have quite a few boxes & such. Securing those kinds of loads is often tricky at best. The rollers more often than not are an inconvenience. I think I'm going to remove them pretty soon. I appreciate the...

This post ends on a high, so bare w/ me here: My last few days in expediting have been less than great. I'm delivering local, so I often have more than one run per day. Starting w/ my last run Thurs, they went like this: Thurs nite: cancelled after waiting about an hour. When ya factor in a...

My fixed expenses have definately went up. W/ my previous company, approx. $1000/month covered van, house payment, & pretty much everything I owed. (cable, insurance, etc). Now I've got to make about double that due in large part to a new van & insurance that's now $300 vs. the old of $75. My...
